Q&A: Where Can I Find Help for Borderlin Personality Disorder?

Question by JNNY: Where can I find Help for Borderlin Personality Disorder?

How can I find the right person for me? I live in NYC, so I am lucky there I guess.

Best answer:

Answer by exotx
You can ask a therapist how much experience they have with the disorder and go from there. If they don’t have much experience, ask them if they can recommend someone. I found a web site called BPD Sanctuary that has a listing of some docs. Here are some but also check out that site for more info about BPD.
